TAYLOR'S POV

"What the.." I groan as the light shines into my eyes from my window. I must've been so distracted last night that I forgot to close my curtains. Once I'm awake I get up out of bed and go to my dresser to get my clothes for the day. I pick out a cute white dress with a puffy skirt and a red bow around the waist, tying in the back. I got it for my birthday last year. After I get my clothes picked out I walk into my bathroom to take a shower. My father bought me a new lavender body wash recently which I am excited to use.

After my very relaxing shower, I go back into my bedroom and make my bed, making sure to place my teddy bear carefully onto my bed. Meredith comes up behind me and rubs against my legs while meowing, telling me she wants her food.

"You want some food Mere?" I say in my high-pitched voice reserved only for pets and maybe babies.

She meows in response and I smile. It actually seems like she's talking to me sometimes. Austin calls me crazy when I say that, but I swear she does. I pick her up and walk downstairs to feed my little furry baby.

"Good Morning, sweetheart," my mother says as soon as I walk into the kitchen.

"Good Morning, Mother," I say in response.

"I need you to go out to fetch water this morning, Taylor. Go grab the pails and hand me Meredith," Mother says to me.

I nod my had in response, give Meredith to my mother and go grab my fluffy coat from the closet near the front door. Once I grab my coat, I go outside, grab the pails from the storage unit and start making my way on the trail going through Springer Woods to the well in the main village. The trail is only about a mile long and takes me only about 30 to 45 minutes to get the water and come back home, about halfway through my journey I get stopped by the same cloaked figure from yesterday night. It was just standing there in the middle of that path staring at me.

" hello?" I say suspiciously to the figure.

" hello Taylor." the figure says to me.

" how do you know my name?" I say, starting to get frightened.

" I saw you last night through your window. I heard your brother say your name sorry if I spooked you." The figure says while taking off the hood to the cloak. After the hood comes off, I see the figure is a girl with blonde hair and the most gorgeous green eyes I've ever seen.

"Oh." I say, "Yeah I saw you, I thought I was going crazy."

" yeah sorry about that. Would you like some help there?" she says, nodding to the pails in my hand, clearly wanting to change the subject.

" yeah that would be nice, thank you," I say politely. I hand her one of the pails and start walking again towards the well while she walks besides me, we walk in silence for a while before I break it by saying,

" so what's your name? I haven't ever seen you around the village."

"My name is Karlie. With a K and ie." She says, smiling at me. When she smiles it's like the whole world gets a little bit brighter.

"Do you live here or do you live in a surrounding village?" I question her.

"I live in the big city just a couple of miles from here." She responds.

"Oh, so you're rich. Huh?"

"Yeah I guess you could say that." She giggles.

We soon arrive at the well. To my surprise, she takes the pail from my hand and fills up both of them. It seems like she does it with no struggle.

"Wow. You must be strong. It takes me a lot more energy than that to get the water." I say in surprise.

"Yup," she says and starts flexing very goofily.

I start laughing uncontrollably by the strange moves and faces made by the girl beside me. I know we just met a few minutes ago but it feels like we have been friends for years. We walk back to the house after that. Karlie carrying the water the whole way home, despite all my protests to help.

Once we get to the front door, I turn around to open it, when I face back to Karlie, shes gone. No trace of her. Just the two filled-up pails of water sitting there.
